FORTRAN Interface

The Fortran interface for Zoltan is a Fortran 90 interface designed similar to the Fortran 90 Bindings for OpenGL [Mitchell]. There is no FORTRAN 77 interface; however, FORTRAN 77 applications can use Zoltan by adding only a few Fortran 90 statements, which are fully explained in the section on FORTRAN 77, provided that vendor-specific extensions are not heavily used in the application. This section describes how to build the Fortran interface into the Zoltan library, how to call Zoltan from Fortran applications, and how to compile Fortran applications that use Zoltan. Note that the capitalization used in this section is for clarity and need not be adhered to in the application code, since Fortran is case insensitive.
